Learning About Pool Construction

About Me

Hello everyone, my name is Micah Southerland. When I decided to build my home out in the country, I knew it had to have an in-ground swimming pool. I mapped out the pool location, shape and size for the contractor to create the perfect outdoor oasis. The contractor dug out the hole using an excavator and began the installation process. The pool was created in less than a week, though it had to cure for a bit longer. I will use this site to discuss pool creation techniques and tools used by the professionals. I will also share information about the planning process I used to find the right pool size, shape and location. Thanks for visiting my site.
